This is an opportunity to connect with other math faculty from across the college and discuss common themes and ideas.All interested faculty are welcome.

The topic of the October 24 session is: Is the Pen Mightier Than the Chalk?

For over a decade, tablets have been used at Humber to help foster learning. Some professors love them, some do not, and others are simply curious. Whatever your opinion, we would love to hear from you. In this presentation, we will explore both the pros and cons of tablet technology by sharing our own personal experiences. Find out if tablets are the next step in the evolution of your classroom.

In addition, you will be introduced to the latest Dell 5290 (2-in-1) Tablet now recommended by Humber IT. It is so cool that it makes the Surface Pro look like just an iPad. Just kidding, iPad users are welcome to this fun event as well.
